wellnessGetting older can be a wonderful thing. After all, you are wiser than you’ve ever been. Unfortunately, your body doesn’t always cooperate. Particularly hardest hit is your skin due to exposure to the sun and other elements. So what can you do to keep your skin looking young? Using anti aging face creams is a great way to keep you skin healthy and looking younger.

There are many anti aging skin care treatments out in the market place so how do you know which anti aging face cream is best? The easiest way to find an anti aging face cream is to educate yourself on the products that are available.

Anti aging creams or topicals as they are called by Dermatologists, come in several forms. Over-the-counter (OTC) topicals, doctor-dispensed and prescription topicals are the most common forms of anti aging skin care products. We’ll take a look at over-the-counter topicals in this post.

Anti aging creams, lotions and serums largely contain antioxidants such as vitamins C and E as well as retinol (a form of vitamin A), coenzyme Q10, alpha lipoic acid and alpha and beta hydroxy acids (glycolic, lactic, and salicylic). Some of the anti aging treatment technology focuses on pentapeptides which are small groups of long chain amino acids that work as chemical messengers throughout the body. If this sounds like a foreign language you are not alone so lets break it down a bit, shall we?

Antioxidants work by breaking down rogue molecules that destroy collagen which makes skin more prone to wrinkles. Retinol has been shown to stimulate collagen production. Hydroxy acids have been known to exfoliate the top layer of skin, which smooths out the skin’s texture. And though doctors say there is no published medical studies showing that pentapeptides (or peptides) work, experts involved in product testing agree there is ample science behind the technology.

Pentapeptides research was initially done in relation to wound healing. In the body’s attempt to heal itself, published studies showed peptides were instrumental in increasing the production of collagen. But collagen also plays an important role in how skin ages.

Collagen is the support structure that gives our skin elasticity and a firm young appearance. When collagen levels are high, our skin remains youthful looking. When the levels are low, wrinkles begin to form. Some researchers believe that by applying the peptides to the skin topically, the skin might be able to make more collagen on its own. A much better solution that wrinkle-filling injections!

There are hundreds of OTC anti aging face creams on the market. To decide which one would work best for you, check with your dermatologist first.

How to Use Anti Aging Products

You may have gone through your twenties and thirties without really worrying about skin care. And why shouldn’t you?  You’re healthy and your skin looked great.  Maybe you spent a lot of time in the sun – tans are more healthy-looking, right?  Well, now you’re in your forties and you may be starting to notice some fine lines and wrinkles on your face.  It’s time to get out the anti aging products and prevent any more damage to your skin.  After all, it’s not too late.

Depending on your situation, you will have different concerns from other people when it comes to looking younger.  With so many anti aging products out there, how do you know which ones work and which ones don’t?

  • The first thing you should do is to look for the different types of anti aging products online. There you will be able to read some honest reviews on the many different products that are available. Just keep in mind that other people’s experience could vary widely from yours since everyone’s skin is different.
  • You will want to look for ingredients such as vitamin A or retinol, alpha hydroxy acid, vitamin C and Coenzyme Q10.  These are dermatologist approved ingredients that
    have shown to reduce the signs of aging.
  • Once you have decided on a anti aging product, it’s a good idea to order a trial size to make sure your skin reacts well to it.  Some anti aging products can be expensive, so this is one way to make sure you don’t waste your money on something you find out you can’t use.
  • Be sure to follow the directions exactly as prescribed. Some ingredients are drying. So if you are using a product daily and you find it dries out your skin, try using it every-other day instead.

For the most part, these anti wrinkle creams will help make your age lines look a bit less visible. Be skeptical if you come across a product that claims it will eliminate your wrinkles  immediately.  False claims are everywhere – so be aware.

Of course the best way to prevent wrinkles is by taking care of your skin before you need anti aging products.  And the best prevention besides staying out of the sun, is sunscreen. Also, drink plenty of water to hydrate your body.  A facial massage can help relax your face muscles as well. Just remember, aging is a part of life so focus your time and energy on the other things that will bring you joy.

There are all types of anti aging skin products out there.  It’s hard to find one that has great reviews by average women looking to find ways to look younger or at least curb the signs of aging.  T’Fivve Anti Aging Skin Revitalizing Complex is one of those products.

Developed with a dynamic combination of exclusive ingredients, this mulit-defense formula helps prevent fine lines, wrinkles, laugh lines and roughness.  T’Fivve is also beneficial for very dry and sensitive skin and helps ward off other signs of premature aging.

This anti aging skin product works in synergy with the skin’s own natural rhythm.  Here are a few  of the reviews from the website:

“FANTASTIC! Expensive, but once you use it you are hooked forever. The cream is greasy feeling, but believe it or not, it actually made my skin less oily. The difference in your skin is unbelievable. Smaller pores, evens out the color and it just glows.”

“I LOVE this product. It does what it claims to do and the mirror does not lie. I have been struggling with some discoloration areas and have tried numerous products but nothing has worked. Wasted so much money until now. My skin is brighter, the ruddiness is gone and brown spots I have been fighting with are beginning to fade.”

“This product not only moisturized my skin, but it also helped to make my skin brighter. Also very useful on minor skin irritations and scars. The natural ingredients don’t cause any reactions with my other skin and makeup products, and has actually cleared up the isolated acne on my face.Love it!”

It’s hard to argue with those results.  When looking for an anti aging skin product, give T’Fivve a try.
